Actually, it's B-A-D-C-L-I-E-N-T-S = scum of the earth....a lawyer can't file a frivolous lawsuit without an unscrupulous client. Other than doctors, lawyers are probably the only profession that polices itself with such zealousness to weed out the bad apples. Ever had a bad mechanic or plumber...guess what, there is no bar to complain to in order to take away their license like there is in the law.

Cajun,
Isnt it the love of money that decides this factor? Does not a lawyer have the OPTION of declining a particular client?

Skol, whatever legal advice the accused is getting, he is making his own decisions. A lawyer is not doing it for him. It's easy to blame lawyers for all the aspects of society that you don't like. But, have you ever thought hard about how you have benefitted from the work that lawyers do? It's easy to label lawyers as scum, but then, that's a pretty juvenile and selfish view.

Maybe just juvenile. I meant to evoke a humorous response from our resident lawyer, cajun. If I was serious I would not have inserted the :lol:. I actually have some pretty good friends that are lawyers, and generally they have a good sense of humor. I take it you're not a lawyer ColoradoVike. :lol:

GREAT SONG!!! One of my all-time favorites!!!

But that MEAN GREEN motivates EVERYONE, not just LAWYERS...heck, one of the guiding principles of the justice system is that everyone deserves fair representation...and if the case is blatenly frivolous, then the judge will throw it out and slam the lawyer who brought the case...so almost any decent lawyer won't risk pissing the judge off...therefore he won't take the case unless it has at least SOME merit...and the ones who do take frivolous cases won't last very long in the legal profession, because the state bars will usually end up disbarring them...which makes the legal profession more honorable than most others...when is the last time you have ever heard of a plumber or mechanic being disbarred...try NEVER...if they are dishonest, they just keep ripping people off!

Cajun,
Of course you are right. But I have been waiting for forever to whip those lyrics out on you somehow. That is one of my all time favs too.
:grin:

But you know as well as I do the frivolity has run amok for many years now.

True, but a lawyer can't go into court to sue someone in most cases without a client, therefore, the client has to be dishonest before a dishonest lawyer can file a frivolous lawsuit...there has to be some complicity.
